Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis Reelected as Syriza Falls Short and Far-Right Makes Gains

HeadlineJun 26, 2023

In Greece, conservative Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is celebrating reelection after his New Democracy party won over 40% of votes in Sunday’s runoff election. The leftist opposition party, Syriza, came in a distant second with just 20% of the vote. A newly created far-right party known as the Spartans took almost 5%, surpassing the 3% threshold to enter Parliament. Mitsotakis came to power in 2019 after an anti-immigrant hate campaign in which he pledged to block the arrival of asylum seekers on Greek shores.
